One thing I’ve noticed since I’ve begun cooking more is that my poor kettle, which gets used often, and as such, sits on one of the burners of my stove. It gets covered in grease and spices and sometimes errant chunks of food that may go flying due to my zeal in cooking. I keep my kettle there because it just looks right there. It never fails though, I have to clean off errant particles of cooking matter before I boil some water.
I noticed that a lot of people also keep their kettles on a burner on their stoves too. However, they always seem to be sparkling clean. Now, I may be a bit lax sometimes in cleanup (I am a bachelor, after all), but this led me to a conclusion… If you ever go into someone’s home and see a very clean kettle (mine even has scorch marks) on the stove, then whoever lives there DOESN’T COOK.
Just food for thought.
